DVD Reviews of Rear Window
DVD Review: Pretty good TV movie - Better than most
Summary: 3 Stars
I remember trying to watch this years ago (with the Hitchcock version etched in my memory) and writing it off as a cheap, commercial television movie. Well, it certainly isn't the most lavish production but since seeing it (somewhat peripherally) on a cable movie channel recently, I have a new-found respect for it. Taken on its own, it has decent production values along with a heartfelt performance by Christopher Reeve. At times it seems like a true labor of love by those involved and winds up being an effective entertainment. Special kudos goes to composer David Shire for a very fine music score.DVD Review: Don't mess with HItchcock
Summary: 1 Stars
This stinks. Don't remake classic Hitchcock films. If you think this is bad just wait until The Birds is remade in 2009. Unless somebody stops it that is.DVD Review: Outrageous remaking of a master piece
Summary: 3 Stars
The idea is great since it comes from a master mind of suspense. The main actor is also great because he plays his own role as a crippled victim of a dumb accident. But at the same time something is wrong in the extraordinary exhibitionism of these Americans who do not know what a blind is and who broadcast every single of their sighs to the whole neighborhood through open windows and paper thin walls. It makes the voyeur in this case practically justified since there is no other way but hear and see. But that's too easy. It takes a lot of the secrecy of this voyeuristic knowledge out of the story. The suspense itself is even in many ways reduced, crippled. From a dark and frightening film we shift in this remake to a plain action film with a cripple as the main character who is beautifully rendered by Christopher Reeve, but that is not enough to make a great film. This remake is not really improving, nor even getting close to the original.

Summary: 5 Stars
this is the movie that people should get christopher reeve performace is get.DVD Review: A superhero in his determination and tenacity...
Summary: 3 Stars
Christopher Reeve was forced to stay on a wheelchair since his tragic 1995 equestrian fall... He was lonely and with emptiness in his new life... His approach to the window was not an act of voyeurism, but a sincere wish to see how life was going on...
Reeve was observing what he could never do again... He was watching the movements of everybody: lovers, newlyweds, lonely hearts, old people... And for the fact of being a real-life quadriplegic, he gave the performance of his life... He was the perfect choice in the role of a distinguished architect whose life becomes altered after a violent car collision...
Paralyzed from neck down, and surrounded by cell phones, computer, voice-activated technology, Jason Kemp is in complete control from his astonished therapy operation suite... He is able, with only his voice, to turn on the lights, to open the elevator, to exchange e-mails with the killer...
But Reeve was also communicating to us his severe moments with great close-ups to his anguish face... We watch his breathing difficulties from the breathing machine...
Reeve was seen as the man, who was not acting all the time... His face related it several times... We felt his distress, his bitterness, his agony, his vulnerability... And as much as he suffered in silence, he fought for life... His weakness was his endeavors for perseverance...
Christopher Reeve (1952-2004) was a superhero in his determination and tenacity... He proved it in being the first Quadriplegic actor on a high-tech wheelchair in a leading role... He gave, under Jeff Bleckner wise direction, a perfect, chilling performance and a highly entertaining remake...
